A baton, also known as a "nightstick," is a melee weapon commonly used by police forces along with the billy club to beat felons into submission. It is one of the most prevalent weapons in the Madness Combat series. Though intended for the bludgeoning of opponents, the baton has on several occasions been used by Hank to impale opponents. The baton is featured at least once in every Madness Combat episode except for Madness Combat 1 and is used extensively in Madness Combat 2: Redeemer. The nightstick has since been redesigned into a more modern version, with the short stock being connected by an extremely short metal bar with the short stock also having a thin bar of metal, separating into the end of the stock ever since Madness Combat 4: Apotheosis.
